<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>You can use the QDesignerObjectInspectorInterface to change the current form window selection. For example, when implementing a custom widget plugin:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

          <span class="type"><a href="qdesignerobjectinspectorinterface.html#QDesignerObjectInspectorInterface">QDesignerObjectInspectorInterface</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>objectInspector <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
          objectInspector <span class="operator">=</span> formEditor<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>objectInspector();

          <span class="type"><a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html">QDesignerFormWindowManagerInterface</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>manager <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
          manager <span class="operator">=</span> formEditor<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>formWindowManager();

          objectInspector<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>setFormWindow(manager<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>formWindow(<span class="number">0</span>));

</pre>
<p>The QDesignerObjectInspectorInterface class is not intended to be instantiated directly. You can retrieve an interface to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s object inspector using the <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#objectInspector">QDesignerFormEditorInterface::objectInspector</a>() function. A pointer to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s current <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html">QDesignerFormEditorInterface</a> object (<code>formEditor</code> in the example above) is provided by the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html#initialize">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::initialize</a>() function's parameter. When implementing a custom widget plugin, you must subclass the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface</a> to expose your plugin to <i>Qt Designer</i>.</p>
<p>The interface provides the <a href="qdesignerobjectinspectorinterface.html#core">core</a>() function that you can use to retrieve a pointer to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s current <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html">QDesignerFormEditorInterface</a> object, and the <a href="qdesignerobjectinspectorinterface.html#setFormWindow">setFormWindow</a>() function that enables you to change the current form window selection.</p>
